`Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "
The two Rak`ah before the
dawn (Fajr) prayer are better than this world and all it contains

This Hadith tells us the merits of the two Rak`ah of Fajr prayers.
All the Ahadith mentioned above prove that the two Rak`ah of Fajr are highly meritorious, and one should not show
any slackness or negligence in offering them.

Abu `Abdullah Bilal bin Rabah (May Allah be pleased with him) the Mu'adhdhin of Messenger of Allah
(PBUH) reported: I went to inform the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) about the time of the dawn (Fajr) prayer, and
`Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) kept me busy and began to ask me about something till the day grew
bright. Then I got up and informed the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) of the time of Salat. I informed him again but he
did not came out immediately to lead As-Salat. When he came out, he led As-Salat. I said to him: `Aishah (May
Allah be pleased with her) kept me busy and thus diverted my attention by asking about something and the morning
grew bright. You also came out late. Upon that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "
I was engaged in performing
two Rak`ah of Fajr prayer
.'' Bilal (May Allah be pleased with him)said: "O Messenger of Allah! You delayed As-
Salat so long as the morning grew bright.'' He (PBUH) replied, "
Even if the morning had become brighter than it
had, I would have performed two Rak`ah of prayer in an excellent manner
.''
[Abu Dawud].
